Dedicated legal representation for Alberta drivers facing traffic tickets, IRS violations, and administrative driving offences under the Traffic Safety Act, RSA 2000, c T-6. Protecting your record, your premiums, and your peace of mind.
Tell us about your ticket. We respond within 24 hours.
Ticket Defence Alberta is a Calgary-based legal practice dedicated exclusively to traffic and administrative driving offences under the Traffic Safety Act, RSA 2000, c T-6. We represent drivers at every stage of proceedings — from initial disclosure review through to trial in the Alberta Provincial Court.
We take a strategic, evidence-based approach to every file. Whether the issue involves challenging LIDAR calibration records, attacking the evidentiary sufficiency of an officer's observation notes, or negotiating with Crown counsel to preserve a clean driving abstract, we bring meticulous preparation and measured advocacy to bear.
We believe that paying a ticket is not always the correct answer — and that drivers deserve the full weight of the law examined on their behalf before making that decision.
Every file is analyzed for procedural and evidentiary vulnerabilities before any concession is made.
Clear, candid advice on realistic outcomes. No inflated promises — only sound, informed legal judgment.
Focused on minimizing demerit points, preserving your abstract, and shielding your insurance premiums.
Your time matters. We pursue the most expedient resolution consistent with your legal interests.
"A ticket on your record is not merely a fine — it is a permanent mark that affects your premiums, your abstract, and your future. We contest it so you do not have to accept it."
Every matter we accept receives thorough disclosure review, a considered defence strategy, and direct communication from counsel at every material step of proceedings.
We challenge the technical foundation of speed-detection evidence — LIDAR calibration records, officer training certificates, and device maintenance logs — as well as the sufficiency of viva voce testimony. A speeding charge is rarely as certain as it appears on the face of the ticket.
Discuss your matterDistracted driving charges under the Traffic Safety Act carry significant demerit points and insurance consequences. We examine the officer's vantage point, the sufficiency of observation notes, and whether the conduct alleged falls within the statutory definition of "use" of a wireless communication device.
Discuss your matterThese charges turn on observation evidence and, where applicable, automated enforcement data. We review photo-radar and intersection camera records, assess disclosure completeness, and pursue all available grounds of defence against both the evidentiary and procedural record.
Discuss your matterAn IRS under Part 2, Division 2 of the Traffic Safety Act triggers immediate licence suspension and vehicle seizure. Time is critical. We file written reviews and appear before the Transportation Safety Board to challenge the evidentiary and procedural basis of the prohibition without delay.
Discuss your matterA conviction carries mandatory minimum fines commencing at $2,875 under the Traffic Safety Act. We explore all available defences, including whether the accused held reasonable grounds to believe the vehicle was insured, and negotiate to mitigate financial exposure where the full defence is unavailable.
Discuss your matterAmong the most serious traffic charges in Alberta, careless driving requires Crown to prove a marked departure from the standard of a reasonable driver. We contest the evidentiary standard, the factual basis of the allegation, and, where applicable, the absence of any causal nexus to a resulting accident.
Discuss your matterAccumulated demerit points threaten your licence and drive insurance premiums upward. We advise on the strategic implications of contesting or accepting individual charges, negotiate reduced charges where available, and develop a long-term strategy to protect your driving abstract from lasting impairment.

Answers to the questions we hear most frequently from Alberta drivers contesting their tickets.
In most traffic matters under the Traffic Safety Act, we are able to appear in Provincial Court on your behalf. You do not need to take time off work or attend in person. We will advise you in advance if your personal attendance becomes necessary at any stage of the proceedings.
It means precisely what it states. If we do not achieve a favourable result on your file — whether through a full withdrawal, a reduced charge, or an outcome that materially improves your position relative to the original allegation — you do not pay our fee. The specifics of what constitutes a favourable result are discussed and agreed upon at the outset of every engagement.
Timelines vary depending on court scheduling, the complexity of the disclosure, and the nature of the charge. Simple matters may resolve in a matter of weeks; contested matters requiring a trial date may take several months. We keep you informed at every material step and never let a file languish without progress.
No. Contesting a ticket is the exercise of a legal right. The court cannot impose a harsher penalty simply because you chose to defend yourself. In the majority of cases, a contested matter results in either a withdrawal or a reduction — both of which leave you in a materially better position than paying the ticket outright.
At minimum, a photograph or scan of the ticket itself. The ticket contains the charge, the date and location of the alleged offence, the officer's details, and the court date. If you have any additional documentation — your own notes, dashcam footage, or correspondence — those are helpful but not required for the initial assessment.
Yes. We represent clients province-wide across Alberta. Whether your ticket was issued in Edmonton, Red Deer, Lethbridge, or along any highway corridor in the province, we are equipped to handle your matter in the relevant Provincial Court location.
Share a few details about your ticket and the circumstances of the offence. We will contact you promptly to discuss your options and next steps — at no cost and with no obligation.
